ObjectivesTo review papers reporting actual experience with telemedicine in developing countries and to summarize their findings, including the strength of the evidence.DesignA retrospective review was conducted. Study quality was assessed.SettingFour commonly-used electronic databases.Main outcome measuresStudy quality scores.ResultsFrom a total of 202 potential articles, 38 relevant papers were identified. Thirty-four articles (89%) reported clinical experience and 14 articles (37%) reported the use of telemedicine for educational purposes. The quality of the reports was rather weak (median quality-score 3, on a scale 0–9); only one study, rated at 7, fell into the high quality score band. The fact that almost all studies reported positively in favour of telemedicine suggests a publication bias. Of the 38 articles, 15 (39%) reported the use of real-time telemedicine and 25 (66%) reported the use of asynchronous, or store-and-forward, telemedicine. Email was the most commonly reported modality (half of all studies).ConclusionSome of the longer established telemedicine operations have developed into substantial networks. The review suggests that great potential exists for telemedicine in the developing world. However, some caution is required in future telemedicine work if telemedicine exemplars are to be produced which can be widely copied.

“…Potential benefits of telemedicine communications include improved situational awareness, assistance in field triage, and timely expert consultation. 29 However, in limited resource settings and LMICs, telemedicine communication capability may not be feasible and/or may be vulnerable to damage in some disaster environments. 29…”

Disasters are defined as man-made or natural causes that disrupt a population and cause widespread human, material, economic, or environmental losses, exceeding that population's capacity to cope using its own resources. This review highlights the epidemiology and disease patterns in disasters, with specific application to the care of children in the austere environments created in the aftermath of disasters. The review also attempts to describe the experience from a firsthand field hospital perspective of a multinational team in caring for patients in the aftermath of two natural disasters in the Philippines, during both Typhoon Bopha and Typhoon Haiyan. In doing so, we will place these experiences in the context of the current literature on the subject of pediatric management during disaster emergencies and describe lessons learned to refine team approaches and patient care methodologies. The review also discusses methods for improvement in emergency preparedness for disasters, with specific mention of the roles of telemedicine and just-in-time simulation training, when feasible. Lastly, it will review the importance of community and military collaboration and planning for aftercare post-departure of foreign medical teams.

Abstract-Mobile wireless ad hoc network (MANET) becomes increasingly popular in responding to emergency situation. In this paper a possibility to support rescue team in monitoring heavy gas cloud with MANET comprised of mobile sensing devices is investigated. In the view of the current state of research, two methods for controlling mobile sensing devices during MANET self-organization are presented. The first one is based on a greedy approach whereas the second on a repulsion from the estimated centroid of a cloud and other nodes. Various variants of both methods are considered and their efficiency in terms of detection quality and energy saving is evaluated with MobASim simulation software. The results are discussed and one variant is chosen as the basis for the future research.
